Lots of "Firsts!"






We invited Elielton and Altair to make the trip to Curitiba with us to pick up our first First Friends team. As you can see from the pictures, we made lots of special memories! We stopped at a small restaurant on the way where they had ostriches, miniature ponies and cows, and a variety of other animals. The boys had never stayed at a hotel, ridden in an elevator, swam in a swimming pool, gone to a shopping mall, used an escalator, eaten at McDonalds, or seen an airplane take off...I wish we had brought our video camera to capture all the "firsts" they experienced! We praise God for His protection during our trip and for allowing us to have such a wonderful time with these two precious boys.
